This PR adds ability to build with meson. It does not attempt to duplicate autotools-specific functionality, like testing the presence of specific headers or functionality of build-system components.
All plugins build successfully with meson. They all appear to load and unload correctly. Some plugins were not tested further because I have no idea how to use them. Most plugins had minimal testing, where one prominent feature appears to do what it's supposed to.
On Ubuntu 20.04, meson selects the correct install locations (eg,
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/geany/instead of/usr/lib/geany).
